If you weren't already aware, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter was deemed the Executive Producer of 2K Sports' NBA 2k13 Soundtrack. Last evening, he hosted a pretty dope event at NYC's 40/40 Sport's Club, highlighting the soundtrack's music.
Lyor Cohen is a very smart individual. And his resume assures he doesn't stay unemployed for long at all. If you've followed his career, you know his plan is well defined and he appears to think a few steps ahead.
Have you ever wanted to ask La La Anthony how she balances work and family? Well, just know you aren't the only one! She stopped by Power 105's Breakfast Club and sat down with Dj Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne... Press play to see how that went!
Ok. So Lil Wayne did it. He fuggin did it. All we need is 5 minutes and 31 seconds of your time. I guarantee, we can help make your day.
Lil Wayne is suing Quincy Jones III, better known as QD3, over the 2009 documentary, The Carter. Wayne "addressed" (and I use that term lightly) questions during a filmed deposition with QD3'as lawyer Attorney Pete Ross. And his responses are truly ones for the history books, or a VH1 "Most Epic Viral Moments" countdown at least.
Rihanna dropped a gem today...no pun intended. This marks her first effort off her upcoming project, coming soon. Produced by Stargate + Benny Blanco. I see Def Jam working. 4th quarter should be as strong as their summer.
What do you think? Does RiRi have yet another hit? Or is it a complete miss? o_O Let's not act like she hasn't missed before! Ha! If you liked it enough, go grab a copy off of iTunes
This is ironic, I was just reading an article slandering Lyor Cohen and several other POWER MOVERS in Music. Find it HERE.
Nonetheless, that guy makes pretty good business decisions and I'm pretty confident he won't be "unemployed" for too long.
SCREAMATME.com is watching...
Lyor Cohen, Chairman/CEO of Recorded Music for Warner Music Group, is stepping down from his post effective September 30, the company announced today. He had been at Warner since 2004, beginning as Chairman and CEO, US Recorded Music in March of that year.
In making the announcement, Cohen said, “To all the artists and employees who live and die for the music every day, and who personally sacrifice for the good of the creative process: ‘keep on keepin’ on’ in the tradition of a company that respects and honors the artistic community.”
Len Blavatnik, Chairman and founder of Access Industries, said, “I personally want to thank Lyor for his dedication and contributions to Warner Music. He has been both a business partner and personal friend and I wish him only the best.”
Stephen Cooper, WMG’s CEO, said, “Lyor Cohen has built something very special here. While we understand his desire to move on to his next challenge, the enduring success of our recorded music division will serve as a great testament to the progress we’ve made during Lyor’s time at WMG. We are grateful for Lyor’s contributions, and we wish him the best. I’m confident that given the strength of our talented management team in Recorded Music, we’ll be able to drive further success.”
Probably not what you’re thinking. I just have a question.
That is usually how these posts and/or write-ups start, right? With a question, usually posed to the general public, with the poser hoping to gain new knowledge or insight on the topic… The potential feedback always excites me.This question though, is specifically geared toward the female members of the SCREAMATME.com audience. Those faithful and unfaithful (we saw your tweet about that other site!); if you have an opinion, we would like to hear back from you.

The ROC was in the building courtesy Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. Jay-Z / RocNation signee, Rita Ora performed album cut "Shine Ya Light" on the stage last night. I think she has real promise. And real vocal ability. Watch out RiRi. Hi Rita.
This doesn't have much to do with the Jimmy Kimmel post, but this is my favorite Rita Ora record to date. Drizzy Drake delivers per usual. Let us know what you think...

If you haven't already sat in Jay-Z's Master Class presented by Oprah, SCREAMATME.com invites you to do so, now. Although this episode is well over one year old, the advice or words that Mr. Shawn Carter shares with the audience are timeless. "Classic" would be an understatement.
Didn't a parent or teacher ever tell you not to show up to class without pen and paper? Grab that. Thank us later.
Who remembers, early on when mainstream began to embrace Hip-Hop? I do. And this was a special moment for the culture. My man, LL rocked the ill "FUBU" cap and spit "For Us, By Us...on the low" in a GAP commercial. That was huge for the brand, and huge for what we called ours.
This was shot by my homie Matt Canon out of South Philadelphia. I thought it was pretty cool when he dropped it in our inbox yesterday...very well put together and highlights positivity out here in a crazy world. Leave your thoughts in the c-section....
G.O.O.D. Music's prince ... no shots at CyHi ... Big Sean releases his anticipated project, Detroit. The young MC spits heavy over about 17 tracks with appearances from J. Cole, Wale, long-time homie, Mike Posner, Juicy J., King Chip, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Royce Da 5'9, and Tyga to name a few. His G.O.O.D.

Mark my words SCREAMATME.com family, (unless he gets pinned for some doing something really, REALLY stupid) Mayor Julian Castro of San Antonio, TX is the future of the United States of America. Last night, I caught a glimpse of that same charisma, knowledge and courageous demeanor in him, a younger Barack Obama possessed a few years ago. But we'll see... Keep your eyes on him.

Just when you thought Kanye West and Jay-Z were enough of a power punch, it was announced a few weeks ago that The Throne would be partnering with Will Smith's production company, Overbrook Entertainment to produce the Watch The Throne documentary.
The film will chronicle the recording process of the critically acclaimed, and very successful commercial album. Directed by Robert Lopuski, who you may or may not remember from Kanye's “Power” video. According to several sources, the film is set to premiere in full - an exclusive clip of the documentary leaked back on August 8th - at the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday, September 9th.
We will definitely keep you posted on the turn out!
